At Caledonia, Minn., fire destroyed property valued at $50,000. The conflagration started in the Sprague Bank Building and K. K. DahPs hardware store adjoining simultaneously. Both buildings were beyond saving when tho fire apparatus reached them and were entirely consumed, together with the oflice of the Argue newspaper and the Sprague Bros. general stock of merchandise. Two buildings on the north side of the street were also burned the jewelry store of Steenstrup & Tommerasen and the fruit house of Thomas Abbott. The insurance on the property is only $16,000. The fire was of incendiary origin. A Sabetha, Kan., dispatch says: This place is wildly excited over the abuse of Miss Eva Punly, the 18-year-old daughter of a wealthy farmer. During the absence of the parents at church, an unknown masked man entered the house, seized and chloroformed the girl, and then carried her to a field near by, where her person was violated and carbolic acid was poured down her throat, and she was left to die. The latter act cast suspicion upon a discarded lover of the victim, but he was not arrested. Squads of men set out to capture the fiend, and a tramp named Richard Hollow was arrested, though there is no direct evidence against him. The prisoner narrowly escaped lynching. At Butte City(M. T.) fire destroyed an entire block in the business part of the city. A strong wind prevailed during the fire, and for a time it was feared a disastrous conflagration could not be prevented. The fire started in an uncompleted building owned by J. M. Bowes, and owing to the high wind spread throu gh the whole block, wi ping out several extensive stores and one bank. The loss will reach $300,000, with an insurance of about $150,000. Three firemen were fatally hurt. The tire was of incendiary origin. Bobebt P.

In the immediate vicinity of this city the loss is not less than $10,000. . The Bank of Woodstock, of Woodstock, Pipestone County, Minn., has closed its doors owing to a lack of business.

students in Dartmouth College junior class will leave the college if one of their number, who was expelled for smashing a freshman's door, is not reinstated. R. G, Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: Business indications are generally favorable. The exports from New York for four weeks excoed last year's by 25 per cent. The Bank oj England has laJsed its rate from 4 to 5 per cent., and that bank lost $855,000 specie tor the week, the Bank of France also losing $2,275,000, ana the Bank of Germany $2,124,000. These evidences of foreign demand, with the low state of reserves at New York, render the monetary future less clear, and the rates for money have advanced during the week fully 1 per cent., with increasing caution. Reports from interior points all indicate an ample supply of 'money for legitimate needs and no stringency. The demand has been more active at Philadelphia, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Kansas City and Milwaukee, but the supply is still sufficient, and collections are on the whole improving. The volume of business is a little below last year's at Boston, St. Loui and a few sm aller places, but generally much larger. At Boston prices for wool have been about teadv, tund the demand is more active. At Philadelphia manufacturers are also . buying. Iso present chaue is noted in tho goods market. The demand for Iron and stesl still meets the largo supply, and the changes in price are all upward. Wheat has risen 2 cents during the week. Corn has fallen over half a cent and oats a.quarter, with moderate trading. The Liverpool corner in cotton it threatened by general stoppage of mills and iapid movement from American plantations. Pork products are rather strongei and butter two cents higher. The general tendency of prices is upward. Signs of greater oc. tivity in all directions are encouraging. Th business failures number 192 as compared with a tcital of 198 last week and 193 tho week previous. For the corresponding weeis of last year the figures were 220.

has. therefore, reported tlnso railroads to

the Secretary of tho Interior for judicial action. The commissioner next devotes himself to the subject of the rate wars between railroads. Ho says that in mo-it cases they are devoid of palliation o? excuse, and that tbey destroy or itnperL the value of railroad securities and impose unjust burdens upon the commerce of the country. The commissioner disagrees with the claim of the railroad manager? that tbe recent losses sustained wer,j due to restrictive laws enacted by Congress and various States, He I elieves that in many sections of tho West, notably in Iowa and Kansas, roads have more mileage than necessary and, therefore, run at a loss. The commissioner also expresses his belief that the railroad managers do wrong in righting- to secure trade from competing points in a State for developing local traffic. The commissioner indorses the recommendations of his predecessor in favor of enacting a law providing for the funding of debts of the bonded roads:. Ho believes also in extending the time and reducing the race of interest. He opposes having regular fixed payments and thinks that the law must not be too strict, for in that event he sees that tho roads could not be able to meet them and the government might be compelled to pay otf prior liens and take possession of the roads. Besides the extension of time and the reduction of interest the commissioner decides that the roads be required to pay a certain per cent of their gross earnings to

the liquidation of their indebtedness to the government. Thus in the 3'ears of depression roads could not pay much on the indebtedness, while in prosperous years they could do better. In conclusion he gives a complete statement of the indebtedness of the Pacific railroad, etc., and shows that it will be impossible to pay all off at maturity. CHARGES AGAINST A CONSUL. The Kepresentative of This Country in Morocco in Trouble. Charges of a serious character have been made to the State depart ment, during the last year, concerning the official and personal conduct of Reed Lewis, of Pennsylvania, United States Consul-General in Morocco. The charges affect the manner in which he has conducted the accounts of the office and also his bearing as representative of the United States in outside dealings. The most recent allegation against Consul-General Lewis is made by a newspaper published at Tangier, which goes so far as to make a direct charge of an attempt at extortion of money from another representative of the United States, Vice Consul Cohen, who is stationed at Mazagan, Morocco. According to the newspaper, Lewis called on Cohen, who is wealthy, and demanded SO, 000 francs as the price of his retention in office. Cohen refused to comply with this demand, and Lewis said that the consular agency had brought Cohen large profits, and he could afford to spare 20,000 francs. Cohen, again refusing, was deprived of his office by Lewis, who offered it, without success, to several persons. It was finally accepted by Daniel Madden. The paper also charges that Cohen was placed under arrest, his papers seized and the American flag over the consulate hauled down. State Department officials say that the case is in Assistant Secretary Wnarton's hands, and they refuse to discuss it until he returns. Lewis is the son of a wealthy Philadelphian.

fhe Coroner's Jury Holds Twombly and His Fireman to the Grand Jnry The Iattor Makes a Confession Tny that the Xingineer Was Asleep. A Chicago dispatch says: Engineer Twombly was under the influence ot liquor when he ran his engine into the Washington Heights passenger car. The coroner's jury held him to the grand jury to answer to the killing of six persons. Fireman La Cloche wag also turned over to the grand jury. Tbe Rook Island company, Conductor Buford of the freight train, and the crew of the paseen ger were severely censured. After the verdict had been brought in La Cloche admitted that he had sworn, falsely before the jury, though he pretended that his perjury was the result ot excitement and confusion rather than a. deliberate misstatement. LaCIoche ad mitted further that he had seen Twombly under the influence f liquor two or three times in the last month, LaCIoche took Lieut. Healy aside and confessed that he had not told the truth on the witness stand. To the lieutenant then and to other persons afterward LaCIoche said that the engineer and himself had taken two or three arinks before going out with their train Tuesday evening, He intimated that Twombly was asleep while the heavy train was thundering forward a few hundred feet from the passenger coach Twombly was leaning out of the cab, he said, and he could not say whetherthe engineer was asleep or not; but he knew that his companion was under the influence of liquor. LaCIoche swore before tbe jury that he did not see the red danger signal until within three or four ear-lengths of it After the verdict he admitted that he eaw it half a mile away By his post-verdict confession it appear that both Twombly and LaCIoche jumped as soon as they 3aw their danger. From other portions of his admission it seems that Twombly and LaCIoche, sobered by the accident, walked several blocks together that night and concocted tbe story the fireman told the jury. Intimation were given out also that high officials of the road had connived at the suppression of the facts. WHEAT MUST GO UP. This Conn try Likely to Be Called Upon to Increase Her Shipments to En rope. According to the r sport prepared by the Baltimore Journal of Commerce on the wheat supply and requirements, the United States will be called upon to till the European maw to the extent of 15,000,00'J quarters thie year. Estimates made in England place her requirements at iC, 000, 000 quarters; France, 2,000,000; Belgium, Holland, and Germany, 2, 0 )0, 000 Supplies are to come to the the extent of 4,000,000 quarters from India, 15,000, "00 quarters from the Uuited States, and 11,000,000 quarters, from Russia. England has never during the last five years imported less than 15,498,000,000 quarters, and after producing9,000,000 quarters in 1884: imported 18,.. 224,000 quarters in the same year. Last year saw these imports nearly equaled, and it is probable that theestimates on her wants this year are' much too low. The average net imports for ten years of wheat and flour into France is 5,500,000 quarters and warits are placed by the United States statistical agent in Europe at 4,000,000 quarters. As. to supplies, India shipped a fraction over 4,000,000 quarters in the last crop year, and since the beginning of the present crop year, April 1, is nearly 1,000,000 quarter behind last year's movement. Chili, Ar fentine Republic, and Australasia have a. altry 4, 000 quarters on passage toEurope. Russia shipped 13,242,000 quarters in 1SH8, 5,540,000 quarters in 18S7, and is looked to for 11,000,000 quarters this year. In large exporting districts in south. Russia the production varies from 60 to20 per cent of an average. The heaviest crops as reported by the government are beyond reach of railroads and may be counted as nil in international commerce.

Shipments since Jan. I show a decrease compared with hist year of 400,000 quarters, and lSST's output is not likely to be exceeded. In summing up the report says: "With a crop of 450,000,000 bushels in 1880 we managed to export 154. 009, 000 bushels, notwithstanding the previous crop, had been a comparative failure, yet tho highest point reached by No. 2 red in our market was 97 , and during the greatest; portion of the vear was under 90. Although we produced 4SS,000,000 bushels this year a considerable portion is not suitable for shipment, and with stocks depleted as they were at the beginning oif the crop year any demand such as tho present situation suggests must result ixi values considerably higher than the pree ent level." H. Stockenstrom. Minnesota Commission er of Statistics, has prepared a table showing the acreage and yield of the principal cereals of the State for 3889. The report; places the wheat yield at 45,498,205 bushels; corn, 22,115,079 hushels; oafci, 48,253,799 bushels; barley, 9, 105. 209 bushels, flax 1, 647, 022 bushels. A RAILROAD T0 HUDSON BAY. Application Made to the Canadiiua Parliament for a Charter Canadian and American capitidists have applied to the Canadian Parliament for a charter for a railroad from the Canadian Soo to Hudson Bay. Recent discoveries of coal have been made on the Mooe river, about 260 miles north of the Soo,. by the stipendiary magistrate ot that district, and some of it has been brought down for examination, creatine no littlo interest in that unfamiliar land and exciting considerable comment The road will h 370 miles in length and will crosj the mate line of the Canadian Pacific at Windermere, 107 miles due north of the Soo The country is said to be rich in. pine anct minerals. The idea of the men interested is to open up this country and to build to Hudson Bay with a view to making a European route through the Hudsoa straits The distance is one-third less than tho much talked of route from Winnipeg. Tho Dominion government will be asked for aid and a surveying party will start out from here Jan. 1 under the direction of Joseph Fozens, a well-known Canadian engineer. The line will give the Canadian Pacific a cut- off to the water. PORTER'S SON MISSING. Ho Was in Legit-rue' Army and Has Sot Been Heard f rom Since the Defeat.
